According to the June 2017 Zillow Real Estate Market Report, the typical U.S. home is worth over $200,000 for the first time ever. The national median home value is now $200,400, up about 7 and a half percent since this time last year.
High buyer demand coupled with fewer homes for sale is driving up home values across the country — there are 11 percent fewer homes on the market than a year ago, the greatest drop in inventory since July 2013. National home values have been rising at over 7 percent annually for the past five months, with many markets consistently rising in the double-digits.
